A sequence of objects unfolds that orbit around a simple, everyday act: smoking.

The cigarette becomes a unit of time. A measure, a ritual, a promise of pause.

Across seven variations, the familiar form shifts through different states: from situation to thought, from object to body, from image to absence. What begins as a moment of control slowly reveals itself as repetition.

The cigarette is not a habit. It is a relationship. One sided, self-sustaining. It moves from host to host without noticing. You can quit. It doesn't notice.

Each work isolates a condition of this system: a break that organizes time, a promise that cannot be kept, a material that gains weight, an instinct that overrides intention, an image that no longer delivers what it once promised.

Between ritual and addiction, object and memory, the series traces a loop in which time is not saved. It is spent.
